Rumor Mill: Haymaker & Sally

Happy Valentine's Day, Readers!

The solipsism here at Blue Skies Forever is reaching new heights/depths. We post today to inform you of a rumor about ourself--and also to confirm it. It is our own little call-and-response; we are our own hollaback girl!

Nature of rumor: Exciting, benign, confirmed.

Substance of rumor: With the help of our one-time nemesis Sujan, we are in the process of developing the story and screenplay for Haymaker & Sally, a movie about two buddy cops who get in over their heads battling the criminal gang, the Beards. The Beards, it turns out, are both more and less than meets the eye--with friends in high and low places.

The players:

Clifton Haymaker: Clifford

Had a starring role in The Reid/Secrest Olympics. (Photograph not taken from a hostage video.)

Carol "Clyde" Sally: Kevin

Director and star of Blue Collar Escape. Also appeared in The Reid/Secrest Olympics.

Leader of the Beards: Ron Dejais

Director and star of The Reid/Secrest Olympics.

Emissary: Sujan


Army Ranger: Andy


Police Lieutenant with Political Aspirations: Brandon

Brandon has yet to give a firm commitment to the role, but we think he'll have a hard time turning it down once he sees the script.

Still Searching for/Demanding a Role: Our girlfriend, Katie

Pictured here with Ani Dollfranco. Thank you, Jess.

Obviously, this is not an exhaustive listing of the cast. We are in negotiations with a number of stars and will announce new signings as they occur. Generally, we will keep you posted on any major progress with the project. Look for Haymaker & Sally to hit screens across America in late summer, 2006.

Finally, for those looking for a love-related post on Valentine's Day, we direct you to our archives, to our friend A.C. and his adventures in romance.
